The awesome talent found here certainly inspires guys like me to continue on refining our bench work skills. Not that anything I produce is comparable, but if one can appreciate exactly how to execute such a build then there is hope for us trying to strive towards better skills. Some day the MR bug will bite hard enough to bring my desires out of the steam era, and when it does I want something as close in quality to these Erie builds as possible. Bravo, JayC!
I have recently been swapping out old motors for Faulhaber's in a few 2R and 3R engines. All have comparably primitive 1940's type gearing and without mods produce pretty good performance out of the average doorstop. Rated 24V, they slow things down to a snails pace so they're better suited to" as is" switchers.
